If there was ever a company that loves dogs, this is it. When you build technology for dogs and their owners, of course you welcome them into the workplace—every day. Pictures of employees’ dogs adorn the walls.

But that family friendly vibe extends well beyond fur babies. SpotOn GPS Fence offers 12 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent including those adopting or fostering children. It also offers 12 weeks of paid Family and Medical Leave not only if an employee is ill but so that they can care for a family member. The company provides 15 to 25 days of paid time off annually, 13 sick days and 10 paid holidays. Employees can rollover all of their sick time so they never lose any.

Except for manufacturing and shipping, all jobs are hybrid and some employees are fully remote. Most employees work a 9/80 schedule (80 hours over nine days), which gives them every other Friday off, while some work 10-hour days and have a four-day week, and others work a traditional workweek.

SpotOn GPS Fence offers a $300 wellness stipend that employees can spend on any type of wellness activity, including gym memberships, exercise classes, mental health counseling, acupuncture, and massages. It also contributes $1,500 to $3,000 to health savings accounts and pays 95% of health care premiums for employees.

Managers and employees publicly recognize employees who go above and beyond on a Slack channel (#highfives), and from them the company picks monthly winners for a gift.

The company also offers $5,250 tuition reimbursement to all employees seeking degrees ranging from a GED to an undergraduate degree or certification.
